Deep dives

Remembering Pope Francis

Pope Francis, the first pontiff from the Americas, is recognized for his commitment to the poor and environmental stewardship. His papacy is marked by an empathetic approach to issues like poverty, immigration, and human sexuality, often leading to unintended doctrinal shifts within the Catholic Church. Despite his progressive stances, he faced criticism from traditionalists and did not fully embrace liberation theology, maintaining an ambiguous position on some controversial topics. As the Catholic community reflects on his legacy, it remains uncertain whether his successors will uphold or challenge the doctrinal defenses of previous popes.
